Our prediction for this MLS match:
San Jose Earthquakes will look to make amends for back-to-back losses to Houston Dynamo and Austin FC when they take on Colorado Rapids on Sunday. San Jose have been struggling defensively of late and, as a result, the odds for away win are rapidly dropping. All Vitor Costa, Michael Baldisimo, Daniel, and JT Marcinkowski are sidelined with injuries for the home team.
The Rapids, on the other hand, head into the match following a 2-2 draw with Inter Miami. As Colorado are undefeated in the previous three away games in the Major League Soccer, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. It has to be noted that under 2.5 goals have been netted in five of the previous six meetings between the two clubs. As for the visitors, the likes of Keegan Rosenberry, Jonathan Lewis, Jasper Loffelsend, Connor Ronan, and Daniel Chacon are out of contention with injuries.

San Jose Earthquakes are members of the Western Conference of Major League Soccer. The Quakes have been participating in the league since 1996 and they won their first MLS Cup trophy in 2001. Back then San Jose outplayed star-studded Los Angeles Galaxy in the title game, but it has to be noted that they scored the winner in the extra time.
Two years later the Quakes managed to repeat the success, with the team beating Chicago Fire in the 2003 MLS Cup final. Avaya Stadium is the home ground of San Jose Earthquakes and the capacity of the venue is 18.000. The construction of the stadium cost no less than $100 million and the venue was opened in March, 2015. The club’s home colors are blue and black, whilst the Quakes wear white and red shirts and white shorts when playing on the travels.
Chris Wondolowski is the club’s biggest star and he has been playing for San Jose Earthquakes since 2009. The USA ace has 121 league goals on his account ahead of the start of the 2017 season.
